Andrea and Les

We are sorry for your loss and grieve with you for this beautiful man. Though we met him only a few times, we were impressed by his kindness and his sense of fun. We also, like so many people sending messages, remember his big laugh and that twinkle in his eye. We know he was loved and, as a family, perhaps you can find some comfort in that. Our thoughts are with you.

Our deepest sympathies to Melissa and your beautiful daughters, Michaella and Alexina. Our heartfelt condolences to Tante Rejeanne and our cousins, Carole, Johanne and Dianne, and their families. We will always cherish our wonderful cousin. Andre was an easy-going guy who made everyone feel special with his beautiful smile. We will remember him fondly and keep his memories in our hearts.

It is very hard finding the words to say for this tragic event. We are sending you our deepest condolences and be assured that you are all in our prayers. May God give you strength through this difficult time! He will be greatly missed! We love you all!

We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. The few times we met Andre, we found him a kind and funny man, and clearly a loving father and husband. Melissa, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to call. Freyja sends a special message to Michaelle at this time, she is thinking of her friend and sending her love. Sincerest condolences from us all.
